Anointed But Immature: Overcoming Emotional Strongholds to Grow in Christ



In a prior post, I shared how I asked God to deliver me from people. Reason being, I found myself extremely annoyed around certain environments and people.

In the process, he helped me understand how mastery of myself and personal boundaries was the key to the peace I was seeking.
